Fansite
From Free net encyclopedia
A fansite or fan site, is a website created and maintained by the fans or devotees interested in a celebrity or a particular cultural phenomenon. The phenomenon can be a book, television show, movie, comic, band, game or any number of alternative items. Fansites often offer specialized information on the subject (e.g., episode listings, biographies), pictures taken from various sources, media downloads, links to other, similar fansites, and the chance to talk to other fans.
Because many visitors to fansites are children, adolescents, and other young people, these sites have sometimes sparked concern over their safety, especially in fanlistings- fansites that require fans to submit their first names and email addresses.
